“Wu’s work primarily deals with the fact that the world we live in is constantly changing,” says Medda. “The work is somewhat deceiving given that it is highly decorative, yet if you look closer, you start to realize that there is a whole other dimension that brings you back to a starker reality.”

These topically ‘cute’ prints are, according to the New York Times T magazine, “a comment on the unforeseen side effects of unbridled economic growth, a phenomenon that [Wu] has experienced first-hand.” The limited-edition scarves (there are only 1,000) are available at Sportsmax stores around the globe.
